Art with an Agenda

Diggs Art

Lawrence Diggs performs presentations that are aimed at getting people to explore and wrestle with some of the important ideas and concepts that govern their lives.

Each presentation is modular. Each module is about five to seven minutes long. He starts each module with a short monologue or poem introducing an idea or concept to orient the audience to each animation about a particular idea or concept. Then the audience experiences the animation. At the conclusion of each module the audience is given an opportunity to comment or ask questions, and in that process, the audience is engaged in a conversation about the ideas. Then the next module is introduced.

The performance very interactive and quite flexible. The modules are chosen based on the audience composition and total length of the performance.

"Limits of Perception" looks at how our senses can only pick up a very small amount of the data from a very large universe. It examines how our brains can process only a small amount of that small data set and how that impacts our life experience.

Our identity gives us a sense of self. But most of us have rather weak identities so we rely on our "WeDentity" to give our identities meaning. This presentation calls on us to recognize and reconcile our "WeDentity".
